PURPOSE: the Research pages are intended to be a continuous update of your research progress and highlights. You results & brief analysis will go here but not the details of how you did it (e.g. the methods). Think of it as a sort of highlights of results page so that Dr. B and the mentors can quickly check on your progress.

Whenever you get an image, graph or piece of data – post it to your Research Page. Sharing failed results is encouraged because they facilitate understanding of the science and will help others as they overcome hurdles in their projects.

In general your progress will be assessed every 2 weeks (lab hours, research progress, wikispaces updates).
However, it is best to get in the habit of updating this continuously - as you get a result in lab - upload it to your research page. Then clean it up the day it is due.
Week 1 8/24 (Wed) - 8/28 (Sun)
Week 2 8/29 (Mon)- 9/4 (Sun)
Week 3 9/5- 9/11
Week 4 9/12- 9/18
Week 5 9/19- 9/25
Week 6 9/26- 10/2
Week 7 10/3- 10/9
Week 8 10/10- 10/16
Week 9 10/17- 10/23
Week 10 10/24 - 10/30
Week 11 10/31 - 11/6
Week 12 11/7 - 11/13
Week 13 11/14 - 11/20
Week 14 11/21 - 11/27
Week 15 11/28 - 12/4
Week 16 12/5- 12/11

Guidelines for posting on Research Pages:

Put a line and 'Week 1&2', 'Week 3&4', etc.
- put a horizontal line after each section so you can tell where each begins or ends (there is a menu item in GDrive for this)

Post in reverse chronological order (newest stuff on top - so we don't have to scroll down so much)

EXAMPLE:

Make your images a decent size
Include captions or text describing the image or images
Don't post links to files-
- Post images by uploading them (keep files in your Google Docs)
- Use the 'snipping' tool if necessary to get a small screen shot of what you want to show - but often you want to save the raw data image in your GDrive

Your WikiPage should have images: gels (well annotated) and other images of research like graphs and tables of date (not just text!)

examples of things to include:
- Transformation plates
- nanodrop images
- RE digest gel
- PCR gel images
- yields from Midiprep
- yields from protein purification
- tables of absorbance values, bar graphs of enzyme activity
- vitrual screening results tables (e.g. Top 10 results)
- PyMol images of top 1 or 2 docked ligands
- etc.

Captions: you should have enough information in the caption to let the reader (Dr. B) understand what it is.
Brief analysis of the result (e.g. 1-2 sentences of why it did or didn't work, next steps, etc.).

Instructions for Creating Your Research Page:

1. On VDS Google Drive:

Under your student folder (make one if not done already), create a Google Doc and name it: UTEID_FirstNameLastInitial_ResearchPage
- note this one has the UTEID - but the one below does not need it.....
- e.g. XYZ42_DianeC_ResearchPage

Share the document with Dr. B by putting in the Research Pages folder as well as your own folder:
- Go back to your student folder, select the document, and hit SHIFT+Z
- An "Add To" selection will pop up. Select "Research Pages" and hit "Add"

2. On the VDS WikiSpaces

Login to WikiSpaces and create a page (the option is on the left hand navigation bar)
Name the page: FirstNameLastInitial_ResearchPage2015 (e.g. DianeC_ResearchPage2015)
Go to your new WikiSpaces page and hit "Edit"
At the top of the editing page, click widget and select "Other HTML"
Copy and paste this code to the text box: <iframe width='1000' height='900' frameborder='0' src='REPLACE_THIS'></iframe>
Replace ONLY the red text with the shareable link of the Google Docs you created in step 1
- - make sure anyone with the link can view

Hit 'Save' to save the code. 'Save' the draft of WikiSpaces page. Your Google Docs should appear on your WikiSpaces Page.

3. Edit this page:

Below these instructions, add your WikiSpaces page title to the list (FirstNameLastInitial_ResearchPage2015)
Highlight your page title and hit "Link"
Under "Page Name," search for your WikiSpaces page. Select and hit "Add Link"
Save the edits to the page, and make sure your link works!
